Ty Lawson is out with a plantar fascia tear, and could miss some playoff games

There’s no good time to attempt to work through and recover from a plantar fascia tear, but with less than three weeks left in the regular season this is exactly what Denver Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson will attempt to do. The team said Lawson is day to … (more)day and would not play against the Nets on Friday night. Lawson played more than 19 minutes - just seven after halftime - and scored two points. Lawson missed three games earlier this month with the injury and attempted to come back against the Spurs on Wednesday, and it was an unsuccessful return. The potent Nugget waterbug was previously sidelined with a heel injury, and the team announced today that he is “day-to-day” with the same tear that knocked Pau Gasol out for five and a half weeks earlier this season. Even then, a full return isn’t guaranteed Pau Gasol’s dodgy play in the first two games of his comeback from injury is proof enough of this.
